Information

Modern farming requires knowledge of new developments in agriculture, often gained through growing up on a farm or through postsecondary education.

Overall employment is projected to decline because of increasing productivity and consolidation of farms.

Small-scale, local farming, particularly horticulture and organic farming, offer the best opportunities for entering the occupation.
